The delinquency rate for Argentine household loans with banks reached 7.8% in October, the highest value since the Central Bank began keeping such records in 2010. The figure represents a 5.5-year-on-year jump compared to 2024, when irregularity in loan repayments to families barely exceeded 2%. The data was published in a Central Bank report released on Friday that follows the evolution of default levels on loans granted to the private sector. “The result: indebted households that can no longer pay.”In a separate report, the Central Bank revealed that personal loans increased 25% in July (the latest available month) compared to January 2025. The figures come on the heels of a Friday report that showed informal employment has also been rising.
